Shanda

My daughter Lola will have her first visit with Kara in October
and she can't wait. Our family has known Kara for many years and
we all adore her. I have never seen a little girl so excited to go
to the orthodontist office and it all has to do with how caring and
friendly Dr. Kara Hobson is.

Jen

I had my braces done by Dr. Hobson and she was so wonderful.
She is so nice and really cares about her patients.
My teeth really looked nice when I was done with my braces.
She is so detailed at her work and wanted my teeth to look as good as possible.

Lori

Doctor Hobson was able to get our daughter Gigi to stop sucking her
thumb using a painless treatment in a short amount of time.
At first, our daughter was nervous, but Dr. Hobson was very
sympathetic and took the time to help our daughter understand why
it was so important to quit. Now our daughter is all smiles and
very proud of her accomplishment.
